Research Summary

Optical encoders are electro-mechanical devices used to convert the mechanical position or movement of an object into an electrical signal. They are commonly employed in a wide range of applications, from industrial machinery and robotics to computer peripherals and automotive systems. Optical encoders typically consist of a light source, a rotating or linear code disk or scale with alternating transparent and opaque lines, and a photodetector that reads the light pattern as the disk moves. When the code disk rotates or moves, the changes in light intensity are detected by the photodetector and converted into electrical signals, providing precise information about the object＇s position, speed, or direction. Optical encoders offer high accuracy, resolution, and reliability, making them vital components for tasks like controlling motors, measuring distances, and ensuring the precise movement of various mechanical systems.
